Filtered Hidden Files

Hi guys,

 

I didn't find an explanation for this instruction. Can you help me to understand this ? 

#"Filtered Hidden Files1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Step 1", each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true)

 

Nothing changed when I deleted this instruction

 

thank you guys !

      Doesn't really say much though, could you kindly shed some light?

    bboy0009 Do you have hidden files? Also, it may appear that nothing changes when previewing the data but when you actually do a refresh the hidden files will be included in the dataset versus not.

      Hi Greg_Deckler,

      I have a follow up question. Does this step get populated by Power Query automatically when there are hidden files in the folder we're pulling data from?
